   This issue covers WritingGate's pointer to OPERATIONAL_RULES.md § Authored content. The same class of defect exists for a second section. Two more hooks cite OPERATIONAL_RULES § Bunker registration as their contract, and no install ships it:

   • LifeOS/install/hooks/DeployRegistrationGate.hook.ts:6,14,94 (:94 is in the block message a user sees)
   • LifeOS/install/hooks/StopGates.hook.ts:62

   The shipped template LifeOS/install/USER/CONFIG/OPERATIONAL_RULES.md has six sections (Tool & environment preferences, Repo conventions, Deployment, Trusted channels, Vendor-specific rules, Model selection), and neither cited section is among them.

   rg -n 'Bunker registration|Authored content' LifeOS/install/hooks
   rg -c 'Bunker registration|Authored content' LifeOS/install/USER/CONFIG/OPERATIONAL_RULES.md || echo 'template: 0 matches'

   On main @ 5e2f2e8 this prints the five hook lines and template: 0 matches. The same fix works for both halves: ship both sections in the template, or point the hooks at a system doc. A doc-integrity check that resolves every OPERATIONAL_RULES § X citation against the template would catch this class of defect.

   Thanks @gjaworski86, and @mj-deving for the second instance. WritingGate was retired in a hook cleanup that removed gates whose only job was asking the model to behave differently, so its dead pointers go with it. DeployRegistrationGate's block message now names the Bunker commands directly instead of citing an OPERATIONAL_RULES section that public installs don't have. Next release carries it.
